I mean...

The weird sexism/girl idolation in a lot of anime is something. Even in more 'grounded' shows. It makes my skin crawl whenever I try anime, hence I think Cowboy Beebop and a Ghibli movie or two are the only things I finished.

"Western" animesque animation (Arcane, DCAU, Avatar, Dragon's Blood...) doesn't seem to suffer from that as much.

    I know this. I only shower and change my clothes once a week. And shockingly, I'm not homeless. I just don't have a very gooey body at age 43. Could never have gotten away with this in my 20s. But hey, I'm saving the rest of you a lot of freshwater resources, and those are pretty precious rn with the ground water tables emptying out, droughts, and AI data center stupidity all due to the Holocene.

    Agreed. I don't like any cartoons tho. Except XKCD, The Land Before Time, and The Lion King. Anime freaks me out on an existential level, and I've never gotten along with a single person who loves it for personality clash reasons so it serves as a bellwether for me.

  • I will agree as I cannot think of anyone besides you who is not in a political cult.

    But I do have a personality..! Not a great one, but it's there..! I have all kinds of hobbies and vices and tiny little virtues (I do not talk during movies in theaters upon pain of death, for instance).

    How does an interest in political affairs equate to lack of personality? By that 'argument', Martin Luther King should have been a pretty boring guy that no one listened to.

    Its great to see you have personality, its just a shame its: cunt.
